Radio Personality Russ Martin Arrested

Plano, Frisco, Dallas Violent Crime Attorney


Authorities say Dallas-area radio personality Russ Martin is out of jail after being arrested on an assault charge Friday.

Martin, 47, is host of the popular "Russ Martin Show" on Live 105.3, KLLI-FM. David Henry, the station's general manager, said while Martin was off on Monday, he will be back on the air Tuesday at 3:15 p.m. He would not comment further on the incident.

The arrest warrant affidavit says Martin and his fiancé got into a verbal altercation at his Southlake house that quickly turned violent. Martin grabbed his 27-year-old fiancé "by the hair and threw her around a room in the house," according to the affidavit It also says Martin pulled out "chunks of hair" from his fiancé's head.

He then kicked her full force in the thigh leaving a bruise on the woman's thigh, it says. The affidavit says Martin then pulled out a pistol from behind his back, ****** it and then started pacing around the victim to "intimidate" her.

It does not say that Martin pointed the gun at the woman.

The woman reported the incident on Saturday. Southlake police found bruises on her body that backed up her story. They also found missing hair from her head.

Martin was taken into custody Friday morning at the Larry North Fitness Center and charged with aggravated assault with bodily injuries with a deadly weapon.

A spokesman at the Keller Jail, where Southlake houses its arrestees, says Martin was released after posting a $10,000 bond. Martin has no previous arrest history with the Southlake Police.

After posting bond, the judge issued an emergency protective order on behalf of the victim, preventing Martin from coming within 200 yards of her for the next two months.

Martin has worked in Dallas radio for 26 years, according to the station's Web site.
